[engl] Grade A Deutschpunk synth-trash. These four songs sound like a bull in a Korgshop. Barked German vocals, off-kilter twists and turns, it's bizarre, fun, aggressive music. Obviously made by weirdos, for weirdos. Total mongo-pogo vibes for the kids to lose whatever brain cells they have left. This bands seems like it would fit on a garage punk or hardcore punk show, and for that I applaud them. Kudos Pisse. - Razorcake

[engl] Man, this band are weird. They're a mix of early DEVO, TITS, SPIZZ and WALL OF VOODOO with a hypnotic Stylophone, clanging and chanting, and all from a town in Germany called Hoyerswerda. This is an 8 song on [...] this double 7" set with artwork featuring a couple farming and a yellow banana theme, which also features a pay no more price, which you don't see much these days. The closest modern equivalent would be, I dunno DAILY VOID and URANIUM CLUB, but weirder and more lo-fi. This is unique, sounds timeless (they could literally be an old punk band) and they have the ability to write cohesive songs while also being totally strange and still sound like a very German post-punk band. - Artcore

[engl] PISSE - new band w/ members of Rouge, Nowaves, Universum and John, Paul, George, Ringo & Richard.

[engl] Did you just hear Monokini by STEREO TOTAL for the first time, and you really like it but you're worried about keeping up punk appearances? Well worry no more, because PISSE have got you covered. These lads sound pretty much like that, all the more so because their record was recorded by Brezel Göring and Françoise Cactus lends vocals to one track. This record is super fun, mixing a playfulness that makes the songs really come alive with a willingness to experiment and make odd choices (see the dancehall track with a fantastic female toaster that kicks off the record). A lot of these songs remind me of AUSMUTEANTS if these dudes wrote good punk songs instead of boring and idiotic new wave. What lyrics I took the time to translate showed a real goofiness, but one should expect no lack of disrespect and snot from a band called PISSE (take a fucking guess what it means in English). A good record and the second best sticker I've ever gotten out of a European punk record. I'm usually disappointed by synth punk bands, but these guys have a nice melodic touch and manage to walk a fine punk line between too much poppy melody and not enough. - MRR

[engl] This Berlin gruppe is all over the map on this album. From minimalist synth punk to straight-ahead angry anarcho-punk; from the extremes of near powerviolence-level thrash (as demonstrated on “Angehem Straff”) to the doo-wop COUNTRY TEASERS/FAT WHITE FAMILY disturbed pop dirge of “Zu Viel Speed.” The amazing thing is, it all works! For all the disparate styles, the album retains a consistently wry yet bleak outlook throughout. It’s rare for cold detachment to possess this much personality. - MRR
